What makes one person a winner and other people losers? How they think! Your self image determines your ability and your success. You will be ready mentally if you are thinking success. For instance:
A WINNER is always ready to tackle something new... a loser is prone to believe it can't be done.
A WINNER isn't afraid of competition... losers excuses themselves with the idea that the competition can beat them.
A WINNER makes a mistake and says, "I was wrong"... a loser makes a mistake and says, "It wasn't my fault," and blames someone else.
A WINNER is challenged by a problem and goes through it.. a loser does not want to face it, tries to go around it, but never gets by it.
A WINNER realizes there is no time like the present to get a job done... a loser is prone to procrastinate with the hope that things will get better tomorrow.
A WINNER thinks positively, acts positively, and lives positively... a loser usually has a negative attitude and a negative approach to everything.
A WINNER says "Let's find out..." a loser says, "Nobody knows."
A WINNER makes commitments... a loser makes empty promises.
A WINNER says, "I'm good, but not as good as I should be..."· a loser says, "I'm not as bad as a lot of other people."
A WINNER learns from those who are superior... a loser tries to tear down those who are superior.
SO IF YOU, WANT TO BE A WINNER, THINK LIKE A WINNER... ACT LIKE A WINNER... AND SOONER THAN YOU THINK, YOU'LL BE A WINNER TOO!
